There’s always been some confusion as to the official incorporation of Remer Village. Remer Township (T-141-26) was organized in 1904, the original plat map of Remer Village was approved in 1910, but actual incorporation didn't happen until 1911 (due to needing 100 male votes for incorporation). The Village Council was formed in January of 1912, but the city and township didn’t split until 1914. Confusing right? So a few years back, the Remer Area Chamber of Commerce decided to declare 2011 as our official Centennial Celebration year for the city of Remer.

Here are some of the special events and activities during our celebration of this milestone:
